Stopped by this diner on our way back from Ouray as it was open on Sunday. The seating is not reserved and you could sit anywhere you wish to. We ordered the eagle burrito and the chicken and waffles. Our order was served quickly and the coffee provided was also freshly brewed. The parking is also free on the main street and woul definitely recommend stopping by this place.

This place is one of the best breakfast places I’ve ever been too. Everything is basically made from scratch including the biscuits which I could have had 15 they were so good. I’ve been traveling to CO from CT yearly and hands down this small business is the best. My carnitas breakfast skillet was an amazingly delicious, spicy and the coffee was good. Wonderful way to start my day.

On a recent family trip to Paonia, we were on the hunt for a simple, classic breakfast—the kind of place that feels like home, not a culinary experiment. After bypassing a few spots offering what I can only describe as avant-garde morning fare (lemongrass truffles, anyone?), we found The Diner. It looked like the perfect spot: a classic, unassuming eatery with just a couple of tables occupied.
The welcome was friendly enough. A waitress told us to sit anywhere we’d like. That warm welcome chilled considerably, however, when I mentioned there were nine of us. Her demeanor instantly shifted. Her solution was to split our family across separate tables, an idea we weren’t keen on. Wanting to eat together, we gently pushed a smaller table next to a larger one—a simple, logical move. You would have thought we’d redesigned her entire establishment. With a sigh, she informed us this would make her job “harder to serve.”
Things only got stranger from there. As she took our drink orders, which came out promptly, the real performance began. Taking the first food order, she paused to complain that she was going to run out of tickets. She moved to the next person and repeated her grievance. And then again. All I could think was, “Why are you telling us this? Just get a new ticket book when you run out!” This bizarre, running commentary on her dwindling paper supply continued halfway around our table until, at last, the prophecy was fulfilled. She ran out of tickets and finally went to get a new book.
After the ordeal of placing our orders was complete, she walked away from the table with a parting shot: “It’s going to be a while.”
Having worked in the service industry, I know that things go wrong and bad days happen. But you keep that frustration in the kitchen; you don’t broadcast it to your customers.
When the food eventually started to trickle out from the kitchen, some of it actually looked good. But looks can be deceiving. Several plates were dry and unappetizing. My wife’s meal was barely warm. Most of the toast and all of the bacon that came with our orders were burnt.
We left not angry, but laughing at how thoroughly and consistently awful the entire experience was. Would I go back? Not if it were the last restaurant in Paonia. I would happily make the 13-mile drive to Hotchkiss, where we later found the service and food to be amazing. My advice is to do the same.

We were driving through Paonia and decided to stop here for a late breakfast. Everyone in my party is vegetarian and was easily able to find something that we wanted. The music playing was awesome and made the overall atmosphere so nice. We were told they only had one avocado left and asked if it was okay to split it between our two dishes that had avocado. That was totally fine by us and then we got our meals which were all so delicious! As we were eating, the cook brought out another sliced avocado and told us that he had run to the store to get it! How incredible. We were so happy with our experience at The Diner and would definitely eat here again.

Terrible experience. The waiter was very rude and not attentive at all. My friends and I were still polite and respectful towards her, but would never go there again. Food was okay. The restaurant smelled bad as you walked in and even the water tasted disgusting which is super weird in Colorado, I’ve drank tap from a hotel bathroom in Denver and even that tasted better. Overall super disappointed with this place.

We popped in the morning after a gig at Big B’s – extremely busy, only one server on.
Whilst it would’ve been better if they’d had more staff on and planned for it, she did seriously well with the amount of people pouring in. Food was what you pay for, diner esq, nothing fancy but fine. Few bad reviews here are probably expecting miracles but after all it’s a diner, and it was fine considering that. Cheers
